Coats-Wright mixes traditional antiques with modern art and design By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com

Diane Wright, co-owner of Coats-Wright Art & Design, has been in the art business for more than 30 years. Her gallery, which opened last May in the Indiana Design Center, is home to a wide array of art, antiques, furniture and more. Wright has a passion for art and design, both old and new, and finds them most interesting when placed in contrast to one another. “I think it’s great to see antiques, old rugs and traditional paintings mixed with modern art and interiors,” said Wright. “People shouldn’t be afraid to mix the modern and the traditional.” This central idea has given her gallery its unique flavor. Everything from paintings by local artist C.W. Mundy to pieces on consignment from the New York gallery of Jane Eckert, co-owner, a good friend of Wright’s for 32 years, is on display. In addition to traditional fine art, Wright has joined with Westfield’s R. Beauchamp Antiques and Sarver’s Oriental Rugs to offer a wide array of European furniture and fine vintage rugs. Wright “I love antiques because they are flawed. As humans, we are all flawed, and I think that’s why one misconception in the community. “I want to shout from the rooftops that the (antiques) have that appeal to me,” said Wright. Since opening the gallery, Wright has noticed public can come in here,” said Wright. “A lot of

people seem to think it is for members of the trade only, and that’s not the case.” The Center is putting new signage in place to correct the misconception. While Wright deals with an array of customers from day to day, she tends to see one common problem. “Most individuals don’t leave a budget or a plan for art in their redesign projects,” said Wright. “Letting art drive the project allows you to create an environment for a wonderful piece.” In Wright’s opinion, a room or space designed around art leads to a cohesive vision, while a good design can be bogged down by art only added as an afterthought. Wright said she doesn’t believe the gallery experience should be intimidating or exclusive. “I don’t want people to be afraid to ask me questions,” said Wright. “The first step in collecting isn’t buying; it’s education.” WHAT: Coats-Wright Art & Design WHERE: Indiana Design Center, 200 S.

NIGHT & DAY Music Hancock exemplifies group synergy at Palladium Review by Bryan Ferry

It is amazing when such an international artist can be standing in front of a packed house here in Carmel (imagine seeing Prince at the Palladium if you are a pop fan). For some listeners, the only music they knew from Herbie Hancock was an electronic hit back in the ’80s called “Rockit,” but obviously, his catalog includes much more. I first heard him when Hancock played alongside Miles Davis and redefined the role of jazz rhythm sections. he was with Miles Davis on one of the most revolutionary jazz albums I have ever experienced. This song, for most ever recorded, “Bitches Brew.” Miles, at that musicians, would be impossible to perform. time, surrounded himself with a new group of They actually go back and forth from “Sevenyoung geniuses, and Herbie was quite capable. teens” (named for the 17 beats in a measure) to The show opened with the drummer, Trevor “Watermelon Man.” Simply put, it was insane.

They were quickly joined by Chicago) and the amazing band around him. It Lionel Lueke on guitar. The intro music was a was as if the entire band was one person when tight Scofield-sounding romp as Herbie entered playing. The breaks within songs were flawless, the stage.

The transition Bryanferry33@gmail.com. from “Actual Proof ” to “Seventeens” and “Watermelon Man” was the nastiest (in a good way)

The Joe Deal Jazz Trio has an affinity for the music it plays. It can be heard in a live performance or on its CD, “Moods.” Its repertoire contains Latin jazz songs with rich harmonies, beautiful melodies and an infectious rhythmic flow. Reinvented jazz standards swing with authority. Original compositions range from the understated to the complex with inspired energy and melodic improvisations. The interpretation and creative interplay between the musicians gives each song its own personality. For more information, please visit www.currentnightandday.com.

Review by Chris Lloyd

“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” is probably the most disrespected film ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. This challenging drama was directed by high-toned director Stephen Daldry (“Billy Elliot,” “The Reader”) and adapted from Jonathan Safran Foer’s best-selling novel by screenwriter Eric Roth (“Forrest Gump”). Despite that prestigious pedigree, and the presence of major stars Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, “Loud” barely received a theatrical release. And reviews generally ranged from indifferent to openly hostile. Me? I rushed it into the No. 3 slot on my top 10 slot at the last minute. Those lambasting the film seemed to regard it as cynically manipulating the decade-old tragedy of 9/11, as a young boy searches the city of New York for clues to a game he played with his father, who died in the World Trade Center. I think these critics erroneously tried to force the label of “the definitive 9/11 movie” on the film, when really, it’s more a ruminative tale about a very specific, unusual child. As played with devastating effect by newcomer Thomas Horn, Oskar Schell is a brilliant but N4 | March 20, 2012

‘Remembered Light’ examines tragedy of war through stained glass

A new exhibit, “Remembered Light: Glass Fragments from World War II,” is on display in Zionsville. This unique exhibit features 13 different artists’ work in the form of stained-glass windows. While the windows themselves are breathtaking, there is much more to the pieces and their origins. During World War II, a U.S. Army chaplain named Fredrick Alexander McDonald found himself being pulled through war-torn Europe. As McDonald traveled from city to city, he was grief-stricken at the sight of so many destroyed synagogues, churches and cathedrals. In a wonderful moment of foresight, McDonald began collecting the fragments of glass from the elaborate stained-glass windows of the cathedrals destroyed in the fighting. Though he died in 2003, McDonald’s observations of war and mankind’s dark side have been reborn in the years since. Modern stained-glass artists were brought together and created elaborate images of the fragments’ original cathedrals and towns so they may live on, even if it is only to serve as a reminder of humanity’s destructive nature. Having been exhibited previously on both

coasts, the Sullivan Munce Cultural Center is the first location the pieces have been available to view anywhere in the middle of the nation. Each piece acts to combine art and nature in a way that creates an emotionally-stirring image and tribute to the fragments’ former home, while also acting as a means of World War II education. Many of the churches McDonald visited were involved in areas and moments of the war rarely known to many Americans. From this perspective, the exhibit is not only quite visually striking, but reflective and informative. “Remembered Light: An Exhibition Featuring Glass Fragments from World War II” will be on display through Memorial Day at the Sullivan Munce Cultural Center in Zionsville. Please call 873-6862 or visit www.currentnightandday. com for more information.
